Exfoliated sodium-montmorillonite in nitrile butadiene rubber nanocomposites with good properties

Improved curing conditions and mechanical/chemical properties of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Composites Reinforced with Carbon Based Nanofillers

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with contents ranging from 1 to 10 phr (part per hundred parts of rubber) were selected and then characterized to reinforce acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) based composites. Fabrication of nanocomposites were done by a novel procedure and structural analysis along with variety of mechanical and chemical tests, according to th...

Natural Rubber/Dendrimer Modified Montmorillonite Nanocomposites: Mechanical and Flame-Retardant Properties

A series of flame-retardant nanocomposites were established based on compounding of natural rubber (NR) and dendrimer modified flame-retardant organic montmorillonite (FR-DOMt). The merits of these nanocomposites were focused on their better mechanical and flame-retardant properties. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) together with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy...

PVA / Montmorillonite Nanocomposites: Development and Properties

Dynamic and structural correlations in nanocomposites of silica with modified surface and carboxylated nitrile rubber.

Distinct affinities between the organic and inorganic phases were observed in nanocomposites prepared through a colloidal route with carboxylated nitrile rubber and modified silica nanoparticles, which resulted in variable mechanical properties and improved thermal stability. Nanoparticles with modified surface affected the macromolecular arrangements of the elastomeric matrix, changing the fin...
